- If you’re like me your daily devotional time can seem rather aimless. The Be Thou My Vision, O Come O Come Emmanuel, and O Sacred Head Now Wounded by Jonathan Gibson from Crossway may be exactly what you need to give your daily devotional time a sense of clear direction.

I have Be Thou My Vision (Jonathan Gibson) and it is awesome! Crossway has two versions - hardback as well as leather. Both are absolutely gorgeous. Crossway not only publishes beautiful Bibles, but they publish beautiful books in general!
By the way, Jonathan Gibson is the younger brother of David Gibson (and presumably named after the famous biblical friendship). Jonathan Gibson hosts a podcast called The Afterword with Westminster Theological Seminary. David is the pastor of Trinity in Aberdeen, Scotland. I recently read David Gibson's Living Life Backwards (which is one of the best expositions of Ecclesiastes that I've ever read) and The Lord of Psalm 23 (which is now the best book I've ever read on Psalm 23, better than others like A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 and Alec Motyer's excellent little commentary on Psalm 23 (which David Gibson partly builds off of) in the New Bible Commentary). Both books are very edifying and insightful. Now I think I'll recommend virtually anything by David Gibson and Jonathan Gibson.
These are fantastic. I’ve used the newer ones recently and Be Thou for the past year. Great stuff.
These are great. I did a review of O Come, O Come, Immanuel for Crossway and my blog. Dr. Gibson has provided a fantastic devotional.
Tim I use these every day as well. They really help me in my prayer/devotional time each day. They really help me focus and draw closer to God!
Although I normally pray the Liturgy of the Hours, I used O Come O Come Emmanuel last Advent, and it was really interesting to have those different readings and structure.
You know, I really appreciate these 5 minutes review. To the point, but still full of information. No wonder you need so many takes 😂
Haaaaa!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for this great review
I'm looking forward to this. On visiting a neighbor today now in a nursing home one of the directors there gave me The Liturgy of the Hours from Word on fire which he receives monthly though a Lutheran, thought I'd enjoy it as a Catholic. Looks to be a monthly publication, I look forward to reading it. I had brought an NLT translation & some devotionals for my prior neighbor and he remarked how it's hard to get large print bibles for their residents. We live in a small town in the smokies & so much has to be ordered online.
I take it you weren't familiar with the Liturgy of the Hours? If liturgical prayer appeals to you, you'll like it. I've been praying it daily for years, and can't live without it now.
@@nan.starjak I'm not familiar with the publication.
Thank you, Brother Tim 🌹⭐🌹
We have been using these as well. They are very helpful as you said.
I checked with Westminster Books and they said they are going to have the be thou my vision in cowhide again in April.
Nice! I wonder if they will bring O Come O Come Emmanuel back.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they do next Christmas season.
These look really good. I've heard other people mention them before, but haven't gotten round to looking at them for myself. Can I ask a question about one of your comments? What exactly are you if about with regards to confession of sin? Not sure I understood what you were referring to. Is it just the content of the prayers provided? I'm assuming that even after being saved, we still confess to God when we have sinned?
It’s different to confess your sin and to confess you are a sinner. When you are saved sin is no longer your nature.
@anickelsworthbiblereviews thanks for clarifying! That's a good distinction to keep in mind.
My brother in Christ it sounds like you just need a 2019 Book of Common prayer and you’d have everything you need. If you need me to send you one to review, I’d gladly do so.
I’m confused. What do you mean by your issue with the confession of sin part?? Why is this iffy?? Can anyone explain this?
Am I crazy or does O Sacred Head Now Wounded have a mistake? Palm Sunday is listed as day 37 when it should be day 39
I think it depends on when you start. It’s a 42 day, not a 40.
After getting to it, I believe you are right. Something is off. This has been a very difficult one to follow. I arrived to Palm Sunday two days early. If I wait two days, it throws the other part off. I’m totally confused…unless we were supposed to start two days early, since it is set for 42 days. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Actually that would throw it off even more. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews I think somehow it got out of order. My plan is to skip over day 37 on and then come back to it on Palm Sunday where those readings are supposed to be
That’s about the only option. That’s my plan as well.
The links to Amazon describe them as hardcover but the versions you have look like leather. I’m confused.
I mention this in the video. Did you watch to the end?
The hard covers are still really nice. Cloth over board, ribbons, nice paper.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews honestly, no lol. I was on lunch break and didn’t get to the end. Just watched it.
